Hail & Storm Damage in Joliet, IL — Free Roof Inspection Guide

Joliet homeowners know our weather can turn severe without much warning. When hail, straight-line winds, or tornado-producing storms roll through Will County, the damage to roofs, siding, and gutters can be extensive — and often invisible from the ground.

After a Storm in Joliet: What to Check

Start from the ground. Walk around your home in Cathedral Area, West Side, Ingalls Park, and Lakewood Falls or wherever you live in Joliet and look for these indicators:

• Gutters and downspouts — circular dents in aluminum gutters are the clearest ground-level evidence of hail size
• Siding — cracks, holes, or impact marks on vinyl; chips in fiber cement; dents in aluminum
• Window screens and frames — torn screens, dented aluminum frames, cracked glass
• AC unit — dented fins on the condenser unit outside your home
• Vehicles — if your car was outside during the storm and has dents, your roof took the same hits

If ANY of these show hail damage, your roof almost certainly has damage too — even if you can't see it from the driveway.

Why Professional Inspection Matters in Joliet

Hail damage on shingles often isn't visible from the ground. The impact bruises the shingle mat underneath the granules, compromising waterproofing integrity without leaving an obvious mark.
